Abstract

This master thesis is about designing a UHF RFID based system for specimen tracking and inventory in hospitals .Specimen tracking is usually done manually which is susceptible to human error .There is a need of a automated and real time specimen tracking system in hospitals .The goal of the UHF RFID based system is to develop an automated real time tracking and inventory management of specimen in hospitals .This system uses a combination of near and far field RFID communication, that overcomes the problems faced in conventional systems to provide a reliable and robust system for specimen tracking .Apart from the implementation and deployment details of this system, impact of this system on hospitals and policy regarding the implementation of this system have also been discussed.
